Parents and educators know that children with special needs have gifts and talentsâitâs just a matter of unleashing their full potential, and making sure that their parents and teachers have the right information, tools and support to help them. Thatâs where Special Education Guide comes in.
Answer Wiki. The ionic charge of oxygen is -2. You can tell because oxygen is in group number 6, so it has 6 valence electrons. Since it needs 2 more electrons to become neutral with a full outer shell of 8 electrons, its charge is -2 (since adding electrons gives a negative charge).
When an ionic compound is formed from magnesium and oxygen, the magnesium ion has a 2+ charge, and the oxygen atom has a 2â charge. Although both of these ions have higher charges than the ions in lithium bromide, they still balance each other in a one-to-one ratio.
